Chapter 20 Reconstruction Step 2

I'll finish it later and come back in an hour~

[Countdown to destruction: 03:00:00]

Except for a tiny bit of dust, the room filled with books was intact. The shelter made of steel isolates the doomsday from the outside, keeping the place as it was when it was sealed, as if the survivors who return victorious will re-activate it at the next moment.

The three of them tried to pick up a few books from around them and browsed through them. Most of them were battle records with detailed analysis, and the rest were compiled suicide notes.

Presumably in order to save space, the pages of the bound suicide notes given to each person were very short, barely enough to write a few sentences and add a signature. The children hurriedly flipped through a few pages and stopped unconsciously. chat.

Looking around, books piled up in layers and silently filled the sight, like crowded souls; the categories included literary masterpieces, professional works, battle analysis, personnel records... a civilization left in the world, Life came back to life in this gaze, looking back at them eagerly, waiting to be remembered and sung again.

Wiping away the blood that had spread across her cheeks with her sleeve, Jing You put down the clean collection of suicide notes in her hand, took a deep breath, and her voice was muffled because of sadness: "Put it here first..."

Uchiha Sasuke held her hand silently and nodded.

Uzumaki Naruto, who rarely showed a lack of energy in front of them, said in a low voice: "I didn't see any other doors, so I can only go back the way we came, right?"

If you clear some of the books, you might be able to find another path, but there is no room left, so you can only throw the books into the void where the original machine is parked - which the three of them could not bear to do no matter what.

Looking at each other silently, they reached a consensus, exited the book collection area that had been restored to its original state, and returned to the machine.

No one noticed that the console had automatically changed the settings, and the start button lit up silently. Before the three of them were alert, the machine once again entered the magnificent and unpredictable flow of time.

Watching the three children enter the time machine storage room, the expressionless red-haired girl Li Lulu stood blankly for a moment, waiting for the prompt signal that the book storage area was opened.

A flash of lightning flashed in her dark blue eyes, and a mechanical voice came out of her mouth.

"The 'fire' has been passed on, the conditions have been met, and the final instructions have been implemented."

The command program that had been set before the final battle was activated. She walked towards the robot next to her and raised her hand. The subordinate who was much taller than her knelt down obediently, bowed his head to her, and let her palm touch his forehead.

A clear fluorescent blue light lit up from the part where the two parties were in contact, and then gradually went out.

The robot's electronic eyes dimmed.

Lilulu looked into those dead eyes and said solemnly: "Soldier, I salute you! Congratulations on your retirement!"

She let go and walked to the next robot. Just like the first piece of the Domino card was knocked down, the entire Iron Man Corps in the garrison hall knelt down and stared at her with their heads lowered.

The girl who was still looking cold walked over one by one and absorbed all the energy. Every time the robot's eyes darkened, she would repeat -

"Soldier, salute to you! Congratulations on your retirement!"

After walking around the hall, Lilulu let go of the last companion and raised her hand to press against the wall.

The hidden entrance unfolded silently to welcome her arrival.

[Countdown to destruction: 00:46:27]

The self-starting machine took the three people to an apron, where a lonely aircraft was parked. They boarded it hesitantly, worrying that no one knew how to fly it, when the aircraft slowly took off, and then the journey that had been set in advance by someone continued to set off.

This time the destination was a seriously collapsed platform.

Half of the platform has been blown up and is covered with thriving plants. The broken world is reflected from this empty corner, dim as night, with only bloody embers flickering between the cracks. The other half still barely maintains the basic layout. The surface of the sophisticated mechanical platform was melted away, and it was unknown what its original purpose was. However, the curved crystal that occupied an entire wall behind the device was miraculously intact. Through the translucent material, the outside scenery could be clearly observed. .

The three of them walked around the collapsed area and walked to the crystal wall. Looking down, the full picture of this steel fortress was finally revealed to them——

The robot, with almost 70% to 80% of its area reduced to its skeleton, stands silently in the center of this dying world. Its round body looks more like some kind of anthropomorphic animal than a human. Even now it seems a bit naive.

And where they were standing was its eyes.

Jingyou was suddenly stunned. He reached out and gently pressed the crystal wall and looked straight forward. His eyes seemed to overlap with the robot under his feet.

At the end of his gaze, where the sun should have risen, there was only a dark void and fragments of a collapsing world.

"It's ugly, isn't it?" Mr. Cat, who had been absent for a long time, appeared beside her without any warning. Looking at the same scenery, he said lightly, "The world that has been invaded and entered the 'digestion' step... is like a dead human being. It’s like the body is starting to decompose.”

Keiyu was taken aback and stopped Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto who were overreacting next to him. He pursed his lips and hesitated for a while, then asked: "...Is there no way to save it?"

Mr. Cat's rainbow-like eyes looked over.

Compared with the blank state of ignorance when they first met, Jing You, who had recovered several years of memories, probably understood that she had made an outrageous request. However, after experiencing this series of events and seeing the collection of suicide notes in the library area, she still It is obviously impossible to remain indifferent to the destruction of a world.

Especially... Mr. Cat said at the beginning, "The world where Konoha is about to be destroyed."

She felt unbearable urgency when she thought that some time in the future, her hometown would become like this.

"There must be a way, right?" She couldn't help but take a step forward, approaching Mr. Cat, "Isn't it that you chose me to 'save the world'?"

The surprised Uchiha Sasuke grabbed her wrist, but Kaeyu persisted regardless of dissuasion.

"——Mr. Cat, please tell me how!"

Through the hidden passage all the way down, you can reach the core of the war fortress from the garrison hall: the "heart" of the Doraemon named "Doraemon" - the atomic furnace, is here.

The heart, which has also been modified, has opened up a space for researchers and maintenance personnel to move around. A large number of precision instruments are placed around it. However, almost all of them are dormant due to lack of power at this moment. Only the display screen in front of the atomic furnace is still on.

Lilulu slowly walked up to it, her eyes reflecting the screen that kept flashing "Insufficient energy!"

On the screen, in addition to the translucent warning message, there is a countdown that is as red as blood.

[Countdown to destruction: 00:13:44]

[Countdown to destruction: 00:13:43]

[Countdown to destruction: 00:13:42]

The time shortened by the second. She calmly stretched out her hand and pressed the energy-transfer port.

The fluorescent blue light suddenly lit up.
